There’s a place, in close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, on the foothills of a mountain where nature reigns. Amongst undulating hills and valleys of decomposed shale, unspoilt nature stitches in vineyards and olives trees; roots dug deep into the soil, canopies arched towards the South African sun. Only 74 ha of the 200 ha estate is under vine and olive trees, the rest is given over to the mountains and the wetlands where eagles carve through the sky and owls roost in trees close to the cellar door.

    We came back after last year and were again fascinated by the brilliant atmosphere, and the excellent food and service. We will come back!

    An incredible pleasant surprise! We had dinner at this restaurant a couple of nights ago, 8 people all Italians. The food was delicious and truly authentic Italian. My starter "Nudi e Crudi", was a trio of Tuna Tartare, Fish Carpaccio and a Raw Prawn that I seasoned with a little bit of Morgenster lemon extra virgin olive oil and my main course was the fish of the day, Kingklip fillet perfectly grilled. Nice ambience, amazing location and attentive service. It might be for the authenticity of the food, the warm evening and the beautiful sunset that all of us had a feeling to be in Italy. Grazie mille!!!

    The service was slow and the waiter didn’t seem to understand our requests. The view of the surrounding mountains is spectacular and the food is good so it’s a pity it is spoiled by the service
